Has anyone seen this video? It's pretty interesting: it actually shows that RE3make went through a lot of reshaping. It does fit with Dusk Golem's recent posts about the game having been in development for 3 years. My two cents is that Capcom got paranoid at the last moment and opted for a faster, more streamlined game. Maybe they were afraid RE2make wasn't going to be a success and so they wanted something that was the opposite. Who knows. I am pretty positive that stuff like recycled assets from the NEST lab was included at the very last minute to patch up the game after it went through all this editing.
